Rest and recuperation should be your main priority as we start the month with the sun in your 12th house of endings and subconscious mind. You are approaching the end of your solar year and it’s a great time to look back on how far you’ve come since your birthday last year. You may be inclined to have more peace and quiet and retreat from the world for a little while, and this is ok. It’s a busy month ahead with lots happening in your sign.?

Around the new moon in Leo on August 4, you may commit to purging whatever or whoever is causing you emotional pain or any sort of discomfort. The same day of the new moon, amorous Venus moves into your sign, joining Mercury, in your 1st house of self. No one knows how to analyze a situation quite like you, Virgo. While Gemini shares your Mercury rulership, your earthly nature has a way of taking information to the next step, and doing something about it.?

This time of year is especially auspicious due to the 8/8 Lion’s Gate Portal. The alignment of Earth, Sirius and Orion in the constellation of Leo is an opportunity to focus on your manifestations and watch them unfold. This is especially important because it occurs in the days after the new moon, giving every sign an extra blessing from the universe to make your dreams come true.?

With both your planetary ruler and Venus in the house connected to your personality, you may feel the urge to undergo a 180 degree personal overhaul before your new solar year begins. The combination of the 12th house and 1st house energy gives you the emotional awareness to look at the truth of a situation and the inspiration to make a change. You’ll be focused on self-improvement (per usual), but more so with a purpose during this time.?

When Mercury goes retrograde in your sign on August 5, you’ll get a chance to revisit ideas, people, and places from your past either physically or mentally. You’re taking inventory in your life and deciding if you should invest more in the people and things that are in front of you, or release. This is what the 12th house is about.?

August 19 is the most pivotal point of the month with the Aquarius full moon occurring in your 6th house of work, daily habits and service. This is the house that is naturally associated with your sign in modern astrology. The full moon coincides with two T-Squares involving Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Venus and the sun, moon and Uranus. There may be a development in regards to your health or your daily work environment. Pay attention to the information you receive around this date and the weeks after.?

The sun joins Venus in your 1st house of self on August 22nd for your birthday season. You have an important year ahead with your solar year starting off with several planets in angular houses. This is a year where one area of your life may impact the other, and all the parts that make up the whole need to be in sync. No one is better cut out for the task that lies ahead for you, Virgo.
